Unaudited interim financial statements

The interim consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, and for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2011 and 2010, and 2009, have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. These consolidated statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) necessary to state fairly the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of cash flows and consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 20092010 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 20102011 or any other future period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations for interim reporting of the SEC. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20092010 and other forms filed with the SEC from time to time.

During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, the Company recorded netan out-of-period adjustments resulting in a net increase to expense of $0.2adjustment that increased income from operations by $0.8 million, which is comprised of (1) $0.3$0.5 million net of tax, for the reversalrecognition of an accrualnet revenue and related commission expense associated with compensation expense related to 2009, offset by (2) $0.5 million, net of tax, of commission expensesubscription-based solutions for the correction of errorswhich revenue had not been properly recorded in the recognition of deferred sales commissions.prior periods. The Company has determined that the net impact of thesethis out-of-period adjustmentsadjustment recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2011 is immaterial to the results of operations in all applicable current and prior interim and annual periods. The Company also expects the impact of the adjustmentsadjustment to be immaterial to the full year 20102011 results of operations.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company evaluates subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Areas of the financial statements where estimates may have the most significant effect include revenue recognition, the allowance for sales returns and doubtful accounts, valuation of long-lived and intangible assets and goodwill, stock-based compensation, andthe provision for income taxes and valuation of deferred tax assets. Changes in the facts or circumstances underlying these estimates could result in material changes and actual results could differ from these estimates.

Revenue recognition

The Company’s revenue is primarily generated from the following sources: (1) selling perpetual licenses of its software products,products; (2) providing professional services including implementation, training, consulting, hosting and other services, (3) providing software maintenance and support services and (4) charging for the use of its software products in a hosted environment.environment; (3) providing professional services including implementation, training, consulting, analytic, hosting and other services; and (4) providing software maintenance and support services.

License fees

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of perpetual software license rights when all of the following conditions are met:

 

persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;

 

the product has been delivered;

 

the fee is fixed or determinable; and

 

collection of the resulting receivable is probable.

The Company deems executionacceptance of an agreement to be evidence of an arrangement. Delivery occurs when the product is shipped or transmitted, and title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer.customers. The Company’s typical license agreement does not include customer acceptance provisions; however, if acceptance provisions are provided, delivery is deemed to occur upon acceptance. The Company considers the fee to be fixed or determinable unless the fee is subject to refund or adjustment or is not payable within the Company’s standard payment terms. Payment terms greater than 90 days are considered to be beyond the Company’s customary payment terms. License fee revenue in arrangements with payment terms beyond the Company’s customary payment terms is deferred until the payment is due. Collection is deemed probable if the Company expects that the customer will be able to pay amounts under the arrangement as they become due. If the Company determines that collection is not probable, it defers revenue recognition until collection.

The Company sells software licenses with maintenance, varying levels of professional services and, in certain instances, with hosting services. The Company allocates revenue to delivered components, normally the license component of the arrangement, using the residual value method based on objective evidence of the fair value of the undelivered elements, which is specific to the Company. Fair value for maintenance services associated with software licenses is based upon renewal rates stated in the agreements with customers, which vary according to the level of support service provided under the maintenance program. Fair value of professional services and other products and services is based on sales of these products and services to other customers when sold on a stand-alone basis. When a software license is sold with software customization services, generally the services are to provide customer support for assistance in creating special reports and other enhancements that will assist with efforts to improve operational efficiency and/or to support business process improvements. These services are not essential to the functionality of the software. However, when software customization services are considered essential to the functionality of the software, the Company recognizes revenue for both the software license and the services on a percent-complete basis.

Subscriptions

The Company provides hosting services to customers who have purchased perpetual rights to certain of its software products (hosting services). Revenue from hosting services, as well as data enrichment services, data management services and online training programs is recognized ratably over the service period of the contract, which generally ranges from one to three years, upon deployment and use of the service. Any related set-up fees are also recognized ratably over the same service period of the contract.

The Company makes certain of its software products available for use in hosted application arrangements without licensing perpetual rights to the software (hosted applications). Revenue from hosted applications is recognized over the subscription service period, which generally ranges from one to three years, upon deployment and use of the hosted application. Any related upfront activation, set-up or implementation fees are also recognized ratably over the same service period. Direct and incremental costs relating to activation, set-up and implementation for hosted applications are capitalized until the hosted application is deployed and in use, and then expensed over the remaining term of the arrangement.

Blackbaud, Inc.

Notes to consolidated financial statements

(Unaudited)

For arrangements that have multiple elements and do not include software licenses, the Company allocates arrangement consideration at the inception of the arrangement to those elements that qualify as separate units of accounting. The arrangement consideration is allocated to the separate units of accounting based on relative selling price method in accordance with the selling price hierarchy, which includes: (i) vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) if available; (ii) third party evidence (TPE) if VSOE is not available; and (iii) best estimate of selling price if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. In general, the Company uses VSOE in order to allocate the selling price to subscription and service deliverables.

Revenue from transaction processing fees is recognized when received. Credit card fees directly associated with processing donations for customers are included in subscription revenue, net of related transaction costs.

Services

The Company generally bills consulting, installation and implementation services based on hourly rates plus reimbursable travel-related expenses. Revenue is recognized for these services over the period the services are performed. For service engagements of less than $10,000, the Company frequently contracts for and bills based on a fixed fee plus reimbursable travel-related expenses. The Company recognizes this revenue upon completion of the work performed.

(Unaudited)

The Company recognizes analytic services revenue from donor prospect research engagements, the sale of lists of potential donors, benchmarking studies and data modeling service engagements upon delivery.

The Company sells training at a fixed rate for each specific class, at a per attendee price or at a packaged price for several attendees, and revenue is recognized only upon the customer attending and completing training. Additionally, the Company sells a fixed-rate program,programs, which permitspermit customers to attend unlimited training over a specified contract period, typically one year, subject to certain restrictions, and revenue is recognized ratably over this contract period.

Maintenance

The Company recognizes revenue from maintenance services ratably over the contract term, which is typically one year. Maintenance contracts are at rates that vary according to the level of the maintenance program and are generally renewable annually. Maintenance contracts also include the right to unspecified product upgrades on an if-and-when available basis. Certain support services are sold in prepaid units of time and recognized as revenue upon their usage.

Subscriptions

The Company provides hosting services to customers who have purchased perpetual rights to certain of its software products (hosting services). Revenue from hosting services, as well as data enrichment services, data management services and online training programs is recognized ratably over the service period of the contract. Any related set-up fees are also recognized ratably over the service period of the contract.

The Company makes certain of its software products available for use in hosted application arrangements without licensing perpetual rights to the software (hosted applications). Revenue from hosted applications is recognized over the subscription agreement, which generally ranges from one to three years. For contractual arrangements covering the use of hosted applications, the stand-alone value of the delivered items or the fair value of undelivered items in the arrangement has not been established. Such items include upfront activation, implementation and hosting of the solution. For these arrangements the Company treats the transaction as a single element and the revenue is deferred until the hosted application is deployed and in use, at which time revenue is recognized over the remaining term of the arrangement. Direct and incremental costs relating to activation and implementation are capitalized until the hosted application is deployed and in use, and then expensed over the remaining term of the arrangement.

Revenue from transaction processing fees is recognized when received. Credit card fees directly associated with processing donations for customers are included in subscription revenue, net of related transaction costs.

Deferred revenue

To the extent that the Company’s customers are billed or pay for the above described services in advance of delivery, the Company records such amounts in deferred revenue.

A liability of $0.2$1.4 million was initially recognized for the estimated contingent consideration that will be paid based on a probability-weighted discounted cash flow valuation technique. DuringAny change in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recognized $0.1 million of income, as a resultfair value, or any change upon final settlement, of the changecontingent consideration liability will be recognized in income from operations.

4. Earnings per share

The Company computes basic earnings per share by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares then outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflect the assumed conversion of all dilutive securities using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, and settlement of stock appreciation rights vesting of shares of non-vested restricted stock and vesting of shares of non-vested performance share award restricted stock units. Additionally, dilutive potential common shares for the threeawards and nine months ended September 30, 2009 includes shares issuable for certain contingent liabilities that were payable in shares of common stock based on the number of shares that would be issuable if September 30, 2009 had been the end of the contingency period. units.

In 2008, the Company exercised one of its options and increased the credit facility by $15.0 million to an aggregate available amount of $90.0 million. The revolving credit facility is guaranteed by certainthe material domestic subsidiaries and is collateralized with the Company’s equity holdings instock of all of itsthe Company’s subsidiaries. At September 30,March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were no outstanding borrowings under the credit facility.

Amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a variable rate based on (a) on the higher of the prime rate plus a margin of up to 0.5% or federal funds rate plus a margin of 0.5% to 1.0% (Base Rate Loans) or (b) LIBOR plus a margin of 1.0% to 1.5% (LIBOR Loans). The exact amount of any margin depends on the nature of the loan and the leverage ratio at the time of the borrowing.

Under the credit facility the Company has the ability to choose either Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans. Base rate borrowings mature in July 2012. LIBOR Loans can havebe one, two, three or six month maturities, and the Company has the ability to extend the maturity of these loans by rolling them at their maturity into new loans with the same or longer maturities.

The note is collateralized by the underlying computer equipment, bears interest at a rate of 11.34% and has a maturity date of November 30, 2010. The Company recorded the note at its fair value as of the acquisition date, which resulted in an increase of $0.1 million in the carrying value. Based on the short-term nature of the note payable at September 30, 2010, the Company has determined that the fair value of this note payable approximates its carrying value of $0.4 million.

Executive summary

We are the leading global provider of software and related services designed specifically for nonprofit organizations. Our products and services enable nonprofit organizations to increase donations, reduce fundraising costs, improve communications with constituents, manage finances and optimize internal operations. We have focused solely on the nonprofit market since our incorporation in 1982 and have developed our suite of products and services based upon our extensive knowledge of the operating challenges facing nonprofit organizations. As of September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, we had approximately 24,000 active customers. Our customers operate in multiple verticals within the nonprofit market, including education, foundations, health and human services, religion, arts and cultural, public and societal benefits, environment and animal welfare and international foreign affairs.

We derive revenue from selling perpetual licenses or charging for the use of our software products in a hosted environment and providing a broad offering of services, including consulting, training, installation and implementation, as well as ongoing customer support and maintenance. Consulting, training and implementation services are generally not essential to the functionality of our software products and are sold separately. Furthermore, we derive revenue from providing hosting services, performing donor prospect research engagements, selling lists of potential donors, and providing benchmarking studies and data modeling services.

Overall, revenue for the thirdfirst quarter of 2010 and the first nine months of 20102011 increased 5% and 4%15% when compared to the same periods in 2009, respectively.first quarter of 2010. When removing the impact of revenue from acquired companies and foreign currency translation, revenue increased by 5% and 3% when comparing12%. This increase was the third quarterresult of 2010 and the first nine months of 2010 to the same periods in 2009, respectively. Our recurring revenue, which is comprised of maintenance and subscription offerings and represents 64% of our revenue on a combined basis, continues to experience growth. Thecontinued growth in maintenance revenue is principally driven by maintaining high renewal rates, new maintenance contracts associated with new license arrangements and existing client increases. The growth inour subscription revenue, is principally attributable to increased demand for our hosting services, online fundraising and data management offerings.offerings and the shift in our business towards hosted solutions. Also contributing to the growth in revenue is an increase in our services revenue, which is primarily due to an increase in volume of consulting services provided. Revenue associated with our core perpetual license offerings and related services has decreased in the first quarter 2011 when compared withto the first nine months of 2009same period in 2010 as a result of the continuing decreases in sales of our perpetual license offerings to the mid-market customer base. The decrease in sales of our perpetual license offerings to the mid-market customer base, which is primarilyprincipally the result of shiftcustomers opting to purchase our solutions under alternative packaging with more flexible subscription-based pricing. We believe this trend will continue in our customers’ buying preference away from perpetual license towards subscription-based offerings.the future.

Income from operations for the thirdfirst quarter of 2010 decreased by $0.8 million and for the first nine months of 20102011 increased by $1.5$0.6 million when compared to the same periods in 2009. The decrease in income from operations for the thirdfirst quarter of 2010 is primarily attributable to investments we are making in early stage Blackbaud Enterprise CRM implementations, adding services headcount in the third quarter as a result of accelerating the delivery of implementation engagements and higher commission rates associated with improved sales performance.2010. The increase in income from operations for the first nine months of 2010 is primarily attributable to thegrowth in revenue, partially offset by (1) $1.0 million of acquisition-related costs, (2) an increase of $0.6 million in stock-based compensation expense and (3) an increase in maintenanceselling and subscription gross profit whichmarketing expenses of $2.9 million.

We ended the thirdfirst quarter of 20102011 with cash and cash equivalents totaling $26.3 million. At September 30, 2010, we had$24.1 million and no outstanding borrowings on our credit facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010,first quarter 2011, we generated $48.9$17.5 million in cash flowsflow from our operations, of which we$16.5 million was used to purchase $22.6acquire a business and $5.3 million of treasury stock, to pay $14.6 million in dividends and to purchase $10.6 million of equipment.

The pace and impact of economic recovery on the nonprofit market remains uncertain and, consequently, we expect that our operating environment will continue to be challenging through the remainder of 2010in 2011 as existing and prospective customers remain cautious in their expenditure decisions. Notwithstanding these conditions, we remain focused on execution, investing in our key growth initiatives, and strengthening our leadership position. To the extentposition and carefully managing our operating results continue to be challenged by a weakened economic environment, we will focus on controlling and, as necessary, reducing costs and expenses of our operations to achieve our targeted level of profitability.

The increase in revenue is primarily attributable to growth in our subscription maintenance and serviceservices revenue. The increase in subscription revenue is primarily attributabledue to an increase in demand for our hosting services, online fundraising and data management offerings. The growth in revenue from our subscription offerings is also a result of the ongoing evolution of our product offerings from traditional perpetual license-based arrangements with upfront payments to subscription-based offerings.offerings with more flexible pricing and payments. Services revenue grew principally due to an increase in the volume of consulting services associated with implementation engagements of Blackbaud Enterprise CRM. The increase in maintenance revenue is attributable to new maintenance contracts associated with new license agreements sold over the last twelve months and increases in contracts with existing customers in the third quarter of 2010. Services revenue growth is primarily due to an increase in demand for consulting service associated with our Blackbaud Enterprise CRM offering and online fundraising offerings. These increases are offset by a decrease in license fees which is principally attributable to a smaller contribution in the third quarter 2010 from Blackbaud Enterprise CRM perpetual license arrangements that had upfront revenue recognition when compared to third quarter 2009.

Operating results

The operating results analyzed below are presented on a non-GAAP basis: the results exclude the impact of stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangibles arising from business combinations, gain on the sale of assets and acquisition-related expenses incurred in connection with our 2011 acquisition of PIDI because, in managing our operations, we believe that the exclusion of these costs allows us to better understand and manage our operating expenses and cash needs. These excluded costs are analyzed separately following the discussion of operating expenses.

Revenue from license fees is derived from the sale of our software products under a perpetual license agreement. We continue to experience a shift in our customers’ buying preference away from solutions offered under perpetual license arrangements towards subscription-based hosted applications. Additionally, we continue to experience longer sales cycle times, delays and postponements of purchasing decisions and overall caution exercised by existing and prospective customers as a result of continued challenges posed by the weakweakened economic environment. In addition, we are increasingly experiencing a shift in our customers’ buying preference away from perpetual license towards subscription-based hosted applications.

During the thirdfirst quarter of 2010 when compared to the same period in 2009,2011, revenue from license fees to existing customers increased $0.2$0.1 million and sales to new customers decreased by $1.0$0.7 million. The decrease in license fees is largely the result of a smaller contribution in the third quarter of 2010 from Blackbaud Enterprise CRM arrangements with upfront revenue recognition when compared to the third quarter of 2009.

During the first nine months of 2010 when compared to the same period in 2009, revenue from license fees to existing customers increased $0.7 million, offset by a $2.6 million decrease in sales to new customers.

Included in subscriptions revenue is $1.1 million of revenue attributable to the inclusion of PIDI and an out-of-period adjustment of $1.7 million, which increased subscription revenue in first quarter 2011, related to our accounting for subscription-based offerings that were earned in prior periods. Excluding revenue from PIDI and the out-of-period adjustment, the increase in subscription revenue of $3.6 million, or 19%, is principally attributable to the increase in demand for hosting services, online fundraising and data management offerings. We continue to experience growth in our hosted applications business and are increasingly experiencing a shift in our customers’ buying preference away from traditional perpetual licenses arrangements with upfront payment terms towards subscription based-offerings with more flexible pricing and payments. Additionally, revenue from our hosting services continues to increase as demand for these services continues to grow from both our existing and new perpetual license customers.

The increase in subscription revenue for the third quarter of 2010 and the first nine months of 2010 compared to the same periods of 2009 is principally attributable to the increase in demand for hosting services, data management offerings and online fundraising offerings.

Direct controllable cost of subscriptions is primarily comprised of human resource costs, third-party royalty and data expenses, hosting expenses, an allocation of depreciation, facilities and IT support costs and other costs incurred in providing support and services to our customers. The increase in cost of subscriptions in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 is principally due to an increase in data expense, hosting and other costs resulting from an increase in the demand for hosting and other online services.

The increase in cost of subscriptions in the first nine months of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 is principally due to an increase in human resource costs of $1.2 million as a result of an increase in headcount. Data expense and hosting costs also increased resulting from an increase in the demand for hosting and other online services.

The increase in subscriptions gross margin in the third quarter of 2010 and the first nine months of 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009 is due to an increase in demand for our subscription-based offerings and the scalability of our infrastructure that supports these offerings.

Other revenue includes the sale of business forms that are used in conjunction with our software products; reimbursement of travel-related expenses, primarily incurred during the performance of services at customer locations and fees from user conferences. Other revenue remained unchanged in the third quarter of 2010 when compared to the same period in 2009. Other revenue decreased in the first nine months of 2010 when compared to the same period in 2009 principally due to a decrease in fees from user conferences as a result of consolidating conferences previously held early in the year into our primary conference which occurs during the fourth quarter each year.

Direct controllable cost of other revenue includes human resource costs, costs of business forms, costs of user conferences, reimbursable expenses related to the performance of services at customer locations and an allocation of depreciation, facilities and IT support costs. The cost of other revenue remained unchanged in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. The decrease in the first nine months of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 is due to a decrease in the number of user conferences and the related costs, and a decrease in reimbursable travel expenses related to providing services at customer locations.

Other gross margin decreased in the first nine months of 2010 when compared to the same period in 2009. While we had fewer user conferences in 2010 when compared to 2009, we made greater investments in the 2010 user conferences when compared to 2009, which is driving the decrease in other gross margin.

TheDuring the first quarter of 2011, the increase in research and development costs during the third quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 is principally dueattributable to an increase in human resource costs of $0.4 million principally attributable to salary merit increases, partially offset by an increase of $0.2 million in costs allocated to cost of services. Costs allocated to cost of servicesresulting from the ongoing investment we are related to development efforts supporting product customizations under revenue generating arrangements. Third-party contractor costs also increased by $0.2 million. Human resource costs and third-party contractor costs have increased as we continue to investmaking in our product development efforts.

General and administrative expense consists primarily of human resource costs for general corporate functions, including senior management, finance, accounting, legal, human resources, corporate development, third-party professional fees, insurance, an allocation of depreciation, facilities and IT support costs, and other administrative expenses. During the thirdfirst quarter of 20102011 compared to the same period in 2009 general and administrative expense remained unchanged. Decreases in human resource costs attributable to a decrease in headcount resulting from consolidation and centralization efforts of our accounting function in the second half of 2009 and first quarter of 2010, were offset by increased recruitment and hiring costs associated with certain executive management and Board of Directors positions.

During the first nine months of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009, the decrease in general and administrative expense was principally due to a decrease in human resource costs of $1.4 million, bad debt expense of $0.2 million and other costs of $0.2 million.

Interest expenseAcquisition-related costs

Interest expense decreased slightlyDuring the first quarter 2011, we expensed $1.0 million of acquisition-related costs, which were recorded in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. Interest expense was $0.2 milliongeneral and administrative expense. There were no similar expenses in the first nine monthsquarter 2010.

Gain on sale of 2010 compared to $0.9assets

During the first quarter 2011, we recognized a gain of $0.5 million forfrom the same periodsale of intangible assets, which was recorded as a reduction of general and administrative expense. There was no similar transaction in 2009. These decreases in interest expense are directly related to repayment of debt during the second half of 2009.

Income tax provision

We record income tax expense in our consolidated financial statements based on an estimated annual effective income tax rate, prior to any quarter-specific items. The 2010 estimated annual effective tax rate of 38.9%for 2011 is 36.3%, which excludes period-specific items. Following is our effective tax rate, including the effects of period-specific items:

There were no material period-specific items recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Our deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded at an amount based upon a U.S. federal income tax rate of 35.0% and appropriate statutory tax rates of various foreign, state and local jurisdictions in which we operate. If our tax rates change in the future, we will adjust our deferred tax assets and liabilities to an amount reflecting those income tax rates. Any change will affect the provision for income taxes during the period in which the determination is made.

The amount of unrecognized tax benefit that, if recognized, would favorably affect our effective rate as of September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 was $1.2$1.5 million. As of September 30, 2010, the total amount of accrued interest and penalties included in the consolidated balance sheet was $0.2 million.

Liquidity and capital resources

At September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, cash and cash equivalents totaled $26.3$24.1 million, compared to $22.8$28.0 million at December 31, 2009.2010. The $3.5$3.8 million increasedecrease in cash and cash equivalents during the first nine monthsquarter of 20102011 is principally the result of generatingusing cash generated from operations of $48.9 million. Cash generated from operations was used to purchase $22.6$17.5 million of treasury stock,and cash on hand to pay $14.6$16.5 million to acquire a business and $5.3 million in dividends to stockholders and to buy $10.6 million of fixed assets. Donor restricted cash represents donations collected by us on behalf of our customers and fluctuates based on the timing of our customers’ fundraising activity. These funds are used exclusively for the payment of donations payable.stockholders.

Our principal source of liquidity is our operating cash flow, which depends on continued customer renewal of our maintenance, support and subscription agreements and market acceptance of our products and services. Based on current estimates of revenue and expenses, we believe that the currently available sources of funds and anticipated cash flows from operations will be adequate for at least the next twelve months to finance our operations, fund anticipated capital expenditures and pay dividends. Dividend payments are not guaranteed and our Board of Directors may decide, in its absolute discretion, at any time and for any reason, not to declare or pay further dividends and/or repurchase our common stock.

At September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011 we had no outstanding borrowings under our credit facility. We have drawn on our credit facility from time to time to help us meet short-term financial needs, such as business acquisitions and purchasespurchase of common stock under our repurchase program. Under this five-yearour $90.0 million credit facility, which matures in July 2012, we may elect not more than twice over the five-year term of the agreementhave a remaining option to increase the aggregate amount available of $75.0 million by up to $50.0$35.0 million. We exercised one of these options for an additional $15.0 million in June 2008. We believe our $90.0 millioncash on hand, cash generated from operations and our credit facility provides us with sufficient flexibility to meet our financial needs.

Operating cash flow

Net cash provided by operating activities forof $17.5 million increased by $10.2 million during the first nine months of 2010 of $48.9 million decreased by $11.5 millionquarter 2011 when compared to the same period in 2009.first quarter of 2010. Throughout both periods, our cash flows from operations were derived principally from: (i) our earnings from on-going operations prior to non-cash expenses such as depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation and adjustments to our provision for sales returns and allowances; (ii) the tax benefit associated with our deferred tax asset, which reduces our cash outlay for income tax;tax expense; and (iii) changes in our working capital.

Working capital changes as they impact the statement of cash flows are composed of changes in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, accrued liabilities and deferred revenue. Cash flow from operations associated with working capital increased $7.0 million in first quarter 2011 when compared to the same period in 2010. This net increase is principally due to:

an increase of $8.4 million in cash associated with a decrease in accounts receivable, primarily resulting from an increase in the collection of accounts receivable as a result the timing of billings in late 2010 as compared to the late 2009, and a slight improvement in collections; and

a refund of income tax payments of $6.0 million; partially offset by

a decrease of $3.6 million in cash associated with a decrease in deferred revenue, primarily resulting from an increase in revenue recognized from deferred maintenance and consulting services billings.

Investing cash flow

Net cash used in the first quarter of 2011 for investing activities was $16.9 million compared to $5.2 million in the first quarter of 2010. The increase is principally due to the purchase of PIDI in first quarter 2011.

Blackbaud, Inc.

Item 2.Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (continued)

 

collections of accounts receivable and the change in deferred revenue represent a net increase in cash associated with working capital changes of $6.6 million and $13.1 million in the first nine months of 2010 and 2009, respectively. The year-over-year change is principally due to a decrease in the collections of accounts receivable in the first nine months of 2010 when compared to the same period in 2009, partially offset by a decrease in the billings in the first nine months of 2010 when compared to the same period in 2009. The decrease in collections is primarily the result of a longer collection cycle and a decrease in billings for consulting services and license fees. Changes in our balances of accounts payable, prepaid expenses, accrued liabilities and other current assets and liabilities represent a net decrease in cash associated with working capital changes of $4.4 million in first nine months of 2010 and a net increase of $2.9 million for the same period in 2009, respectively. The primary driver of the decrease in the net cash flow associated with these accounts is principally attributable to fluctuations in the timing of payments to vendors and income tax payments, and an increase in the amount of bonuses paid in 2010 when compared to 2009.

Investing cash flow

Net cash used in the first nine months of 2010 for investing activities was $13.1 million compared to $6.1 million in the same period in 2009. The increase is principally due to an increase in payments for property and equipment of $6.7 million, of which $3.7 million relates to payments in 2010 related to purchases made at the end of 2009.

Financing cash flow

Net cash used in financing activities for the first nine monthsquarter of 20102011 was $32.4$4.8 million compared to $48.8$1.5 million in the same period in 2009. During the first nine months of 2010,2010. The increase in cash used forin financing activities was principally attributableis primarily due to $22.6 million of treasury stock purchases and $14.6 million of dividend payments to stockholders, partially offset bya decrease in proceeds from stock option exercises. During the first nine months of 2009, cash used for financing activities was principally attributable to $42.3 million of payments on debtexercises and $13.2 million of dividend payments to stockholders.related tax benefits.

Commitments and contingencies

As of September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, we had future minimum lease commitments of $64.1$63.8 million. There were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business in our contractual obligations since December 31, 2009.2010.

We utilize third-party relationships in conjunction with our products. The contractual arrangements vary in length from one to three years. In certain cases, these arrangements require a minimum annual purchase commitment. The total minimum purchase commitments under these arrangements at September 30, 2010 are $5.3March 31, 2011 were $3.5 million through 2013. We incurred expense under these arrangements of $1.3$1.1 million and $0.6$0.8 million for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2011 and 2010, and 2009, respectively, and $3.4 million and $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

In February 2010,2011, our Board of Directors approved our annual dividend of $0.44$0.48 per share for 2010.2011. Dividends at the annual rate would aggregate to $19.4$21.1 million assuming 4444.0 million shares of common stock are outstanding. Our ability to continue to declare and pay dividends may be restricted by, among other things, the terms of our credit facility, general economic conditions and our ability to generate operating cash flow.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

We do not believe we currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons.

Foreign currency exchange rates

Approximately 14% of our total net revenue for the nine-monththree-month period ended September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 was derived from operations outside the United States. We do not have significant operations in countries in which the economy is considered to be highly inflationary. Our consolidated financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars and,

Item 2.Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (continued)

accordingly, changes in the exchange rate between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar will affect the translation of our subsidiaries’ financial results into U.S. dollars for purposes of reporting our consolidated financial results. The accumulated currency translation adjustment, recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, was $0.3 million and $0.2$0.5 million at September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 and at December 31, 2009, respectively.2010.

The vast majority of our contracts are entered into by our U.S., Canadian or U.K. entities. The contracts entered into by the U.S. entity are almost always denominated in U.S. dollars, contracts entered into by our Canadian subsidiary are generally denominated in Canadian dollars, and contracts entered into by our U.K., Australian and Netherlands subsidiaries are generally denominated in pounds sterling, Australian dollars and euros,Euros, respectively. Historically, as the U.S. dollar weakened, foreign currency translation resulted in an increase in our revenues and expenses denominated in non-U.S. currencies. During thirdfirst quarter 2010, the2011, foreign translation has resulted in an increase in our revenues and expenses denominated in non-U.S. currencies. Though we do not believe our increased exposure to currency exchange rates have had a material impact on our results of operations or financial position, we intend to continue to monitor such exposure and take action as appropriate.

Cautionary statement

We operate in a highly competitive environment that involves a number of risks, some of which are beyond our control. The following statement highlights some of these risks.

Statements contained in this Form 10-Q, which are not historical facts, are or might constitute forward-looking statements under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Although we

Blackbaud, Inc.

Item 2.Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (continued)

believe the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations expressed in the report includeinclude: general economic risk; lengthy sales and implementation cycles, particularly in larger organizations; uncertainty regarding increased business and renewals from existing customers; continued success in sales growth; risk associated with successful implementation of multiple integrated software products; management of integration of recently acquired companies and other risks associated with acquisitions; the ability to attract and retain key personnel;personnel, including a new CFO; risk associated with successful implementation of multiple integrated software products; risks related to our dividend policy and stock repurchase program, including potential limitations on our ability to grow and the possibility that we might discontinue payment of dividends; risks relating to restrictions imposed by the credit facility; risks associated with management of growth; technological changes that make our products and services less competitive; and the other risk factors set forth from time to time in our SEC filings.

 

Item 3.Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk

Due to the nature of our short-term investments and the lack of material debt, we have concluded at September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 that we face no material market risk exposure. Therefore, no quantitative tabular disclosures are required. For a discussion of our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, see the “Foreign currency exchange rates” section of Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations in this report.

 

Item 4.Controls and procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) are designed only to provide reasonable assurance that they will meet their objectives.
